Your timing is perfect, Marcus. I’ve been experimenting with a few AI setups over the past year, mostly because my team is tiny and we were drowning in repetitive tasks. What ended up helping the most wasn’t some giant overhaul but a mix of small automations. One of the best examples is using AI to clean and categorize incoming client messages. It sounds minor, but when you have dozens of emails a day, it keeps you from losing track of details.

Another thing I’ve done is run quick AI-based trend checks on our content performance. Instead of manually comparing posts and guessing what worked, the AI flags patterns I wouldn’t notice on my own. I also read a breakdown recently on monoup

, and it matched my experience—AI becomes useful when you let it handle the repetitive, boring parts, not when you try to make it “think” for you.

What really surprised me is how much smoother team communication became once we automated parts of our reporting. We went from constant Slack pings to one daily summary, and honestly it’s been a sanity saver.
